The iWatch rumor mill just keeps on churning but Apple seems to be getting closer and closer to its goal. With a new patent for a wearable device, the iWatch doesn’t seem too far-gone.

Apple’s new patent for a wearable device outlines a gadget that works almost like a flexible bracelet/wristwatch with an equally flexible display that shows all sorts of information. The band of said device would work almost like a “slap wrap” bracelet. A few ideas circulating the iWatch rumor mill seem to be “a sensor for detecting a change between the flat state and the curled state of the bi-stable spring substrate” and a “recharging battery housed within the accessory device by way of a plurality of ambient light energy collectors disposed across a portion of one surface of the accessory device,” among many others.

Although the patent has us yearning for more info on Apple’s latest venture, we cannot wait to see what is in store for this new possibility.
